MK Regev Files Lawsuit Against Person Who Cursed Her

MK Miri Regev (Likud) on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against a resident of Netanya who, according to Regev, cursed her on Facebook.

The curses by the defendant were allegedly written in a response to Regev’s post in which she wrote that former President Shimon Peres had “run his course” after he said that the military campaign in Gaza had been exhausted and that it was time to end it.

The lawsuit says that the defendant “used the internet with the intent to harm Regev, while denigrating her, embarrassing her in public and making unsubstantiated charges accompanied by derogatory insults against her. The response was vitriolic, offensive and demeaning."
